Title: Transcepteur de paiements optique et systeme utilisant le transcepteur
Inventor: PARK KYUNG YANG
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: L'invention concerne un transcepteur de paiements optique et un système de règlement optique utilisant le transcepteur, lequel incorpore un terminal portatif personnel fonctionnant comme appareil de règlement se substituant à la carte. Des informations de carte sont stockées dans un terminal portatif personnel, lequel est incorporé dans un transcepteur optique (tel qu'un téléphone portable ou un assistant numérique) connecté à un appareil d'interrogation de cartes, pour transmettre ou recevoir optiquement des informations de carte. L'appareil d'interrogation de cartes reconnaît les informations de carte reçues de la même façon qu'un lecteur de carte lisant une carte magnétique, et transmet les informations de carte à un serveur d'une entreprise de réseau à valeur ajoutée ou à un serveur d'une entreprise de paiement par carte aux fins de demander une validation et de régler des transactions. L'objet de l'invention s'applique à la plupart des domaines où des transactions financières sont réalisées, tels qu'une activité commerciale normale, un système de péage sur autoroute ou d'entrée en tunnel, un système de paiement de tickets de métro ou de bus, une pompe à essence, un grand magasin, un système de commande au volant, un distributeur automatique, ou un système de paiement aux kiosques. L'objet de l'invention peut également s'appliquer à un système de sécurité aux entrées-sorties nécessitant une identification personnelle. Ainsi, l'objet de la présente invention peut utiliser un terminal portatif comme appareil de paiement ne requérant ni espèces ni cartes, d'où des transactions de crédit plus sûres et plus fiables.

Abstract: A surgical instrument for introducing a support strand into the body to treat female urinary incontinence has an elongated, curved shaft with a distal end insertable into the body. The shaft has a lumen therein extending at least a portion of the length of the shaft through which the support strand may pass in an axial direction. The shaft has a slot on an exterior surface thereof communicating with the lumen allowing the support strand to be laterally passed between the lumen to a position outside the shaft. A pointed element, is removably positionable on the distal end of the shaft for facilitating the insertion of the shaft through the body and is connectable at one end to the support strand. The pointed element may either be swaged directly to the strand or be in the form of an elongated needle with an eye to which the strand is removably attached. In an associated method, the shaft sequentially delivers the pointed element through the body twice, forming a loop around the urethra to relieve incontinence. The slot in the shaft permits the instrument to be disassociated from the strand without disturbing the loop.

Abstract: Determining the degree of methylation of a particular cytosine in a motif 5'-CpG-3', present in a genomic sample of DNA (I), is new. Determining the degree of methylation of a particular cytosine in a motif 5'-CpG-3', present in a genomic sample of DNA (I), is new. The sample is treated chemically to convert cytosine (C), but not methylated C, to uracil, then part of (I) that contains the target C is amplified to form a labeled amplicon (II). (II) is hybridized to two classes, each with at least one member, of oligonucleotides and/or peptide-nucleic acid (PNA) oligomers (A) and the degree of hybridization to both classes is determined from the label on (II). From the ratio of labels hybridized to the two classes of (A), the degree of methylation is calculated. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a kit comprising a bisulfite, primer oligonucleotides for amplification, and/or (A), preferably immobilized on a solid phase, plus instructions; (2) a nucleic acid comprising at least 18 bases from chemically pretreated DNAs (B) of sequences (1) - (40712), not given in the specification; (3) oligonucleotide or PNA oligomers (OG) for use in the new process comprising a sequence of at least 9 nucleotides (nt) able to hybridize to (B); (4) sets of OG; (5) sets of at least two primer oligonucleotides for amplifying at least one (B) or its segment; (6) sets of oligonucleotide probes for determining the degree of C methylation and/or single nucleotide polymorphisms in (B), comprising at least ten OG; (7) preparing carrier-bound arrays of different OG for analysis of diseases associated with the methylation status of (B), by attaching OG to a solid phase; and (8) arrays made by (7).

Abstract: A PLL frequency synthesizer (1) is provided with a
switch circuit (10) interposed between a low-pass
filter circuit (103) and a voltage-controlled
oscillator (104). The switch circuit (10) is
controlled based on a control signal (Sent) to
open/close control a feedback loop lying between the
low-pass filter circuit (103) and the voltage-controlled
oscillator (104). Namely, the switch
circuit (10) is opened according to a path-opening
instruction of a feedback loop based on the control
signal (Scnt) to open the feedback loop, thereby
stopping the operation of the feedback loop. If this
stop operation is controlled according to the control
signal (Sent) so as to be carried out during a period
in which a pseudo correction pulse is outputted from a
charge pump circuit (102) for each phase comparison
cycle of a phase comparator (101), then spurious
generation incident to the pseudo correction pulse can
be suppressed. In this way even a spurious
characteristic in a lock state can be improved while
ensuring a high-speed lockup characteristic to thereby
implement satisfactory communication quality.
